*Critique Club*

Well, you submitted, and ran. Haven't even logged on to check your comments, which leads me to believe you don't really care, so not sure why you'd ask me to spend my time writing this...but here goes.
Per your request, here is your in depth critique from the Critique Club.
Without any photographer's comments, my critique can be based only on personal opinion since I have no clue what your intentions were for this photo.
First off, the sucject doesn't appeal to me much at all. Not sure what you saw in this scene, but to me, it looks busy and cluttered with the power lines and poles.
The use of duotones doesn't add to this photo or the interest of this photo. It seriously lacks visual appeal. And without the color, it makes it even more dull.
Focus looks alright on the sign. Were the flowers suposed to add to the image or were they just in the way? It looks to me that they were just in the way, since they aren't really framing the subject in an interesting way.
The photo overall seems too grey. Some contrast would have helped some. There are no whites in the photo, which leaves the photo flat.
Overall, I feel that this photo was thrown in here for no reason at all, and the score reflects the effort put into this submission.
Sorry if I missed something.

Picture just needs a few less distrating elements. Mainly the phone poles and wires.

A different angle might have been better. The street and power lines make for a poor background.

Telephone wires? Not very attractive.
